President Obama if you please

Wow. I don't know what else to say. Within the last three days I have watched "The Hurricane" and "Remember The Titans". Two movies set in a racially charged U.S. within the last 50 years. I know this isn't the best example, but just watching these movies with the knowledge that we have, as of now, elected the first black president is amazing to me. It has charged me up. I have been telling my students, who don't really get it, how significant this is all week. I have high hopes for Obama, hopes that he will have to be amazing to live up to, but that is what he has been promising, hope and change, and I am ready for it.
